forHood County displaced animals

a 501(c)3 non-profit organization

HALO – Hood Co Animal Lovers Organizationwas formed in April 2011 by animal welfare volunteers who wanted to work with the local animal control facility, local animal shelters and the community to find homes for the large amount of displaced & abandoned animals in Hood County.

HALO is not a shelter, but a group of volunteers who foster displaced animals in their homes until permanent homes can be found. Foster animals are vetted and brought to adoption sites around Hood County in search for a new loving home.

HALO – Hood Co Animal Lovers Organization is a nonprofit, tax-exempt, 501(c)(3) organization run solely by volunteers. We have no paid staff and all moneys raised through donations, fund raisers, and adoptions are used for the care of HALO’s animals.

If you need help placing your animalor an animal you have found, please go to our “Rehoming Your Pet”page for helpful guidance.

Mission Statement: Hood Co Animal Lovers Organization (HALO) is dedicated to creating a better quality of life for displaced companion animals in Hood County by helping them secure a 'second chance' in loving forever homes.

We have a brand new, state of the art, BEAUTIFUL Kroger in town. Please don't forget to attach your Kroger card to HALO which will help fund the rescue of animals and outreach programs!

"Spaying and neutering saves lives. Millions of animals are euthanized each year simply because they do not have a home. Preventing unplanned pregnancies significantly reduces this number."
